Although they are fondly referred to as militants, but they say its a struggle for self determination. In this Episode, STRIAGHTalk looks into the struggle for self determination in Africa taking a cue from the Nigeria's Niger-Delta Activist, Asari Dokubo. TVC NEWS STRAIGHTalk with Asari Dokubo, a Niger-Delta Activist provides answers to boiling questions on the rise of Insurgent groups in Africa.
What an intelligent man! I'm completely blown away by his intellect and historical analysis of Nigeria and the world at large.
This man's out spoken words proudly to describe himself as not being a Nigeria, makes me start picking interest to listen to him.
Askari is a beauty to watch.
i really think we Nigerians are sitting on gun powder cos everything is going wrong. i support alhaji Asari 's ideology and i think the sooner we resolve the issue of whether we want to stay together as a nation, the better. we should decide our futire now.
We need more people with great minds and fearless heart like Dokubo Asari in Africa...
I love this man! I never knew he was this knowledgeable and articulate. He really raised some very valid points here.
Long live Asari
Like him or hate him, Asari gives it straight. He never minces words. He never leaves you in doubts about his position on any matter. Very good.
When I watched my hearts jumps , It is just a MIRACLE this interviewer did not receive hot slap 👋 from our able Asari
hahahahaha no slap i beg.
Loooooool 😅. U harsh o
Allahji Asari Dokubo, you are really a man and very intelligent. You have just made us to know why they abolished history in schools so that our children will not be able to find out where they belong and not fight for their rights
I love the way he talks with facts and confidence
I love it at the point where you said Ijaw oil, Ogoni oil, Igbo oil. Pls I support you, let's divide, Igbo on her own, Ijaw and other nations on their own, so fantastic
My mentality about this man changed after this video.
Hn be by g
I'm not tired of listening to this guy. He is full of sound knowledge
This is when asari was a sane human being
If I were this interviewer, I may have changed my questions to Alh Asari Dokubo half way into the interview. The way Asari was vociferously answering the questions sent chills down my spine.
The interviewer is not good at all
My dear Asari is a confusion man yesterday he was and Igbo man today he is an Ijaw Nation man what he is trying to do is a paid speech to bring separate act from Biafra struggle he is the only man that pick this job but he stand alone anyway
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

People of great mind can not be silence. Asari God will bless and give you longlife to achive the south - south freedom and independent in Jesus name.
This man is great in historical

Asari Dokubo, you are well grounded with the Nigerian history. No wonder you are among those fighting for Self-Determination. I congratulate you and I like your answers in this interview. Keep it up.
Am overwhelmed on the lecture Alhaji Asari Dokubu gave to the Interviewer, making him feel
like a rookie in journalism.
He sounds like a rookie though.
Niger Deltans where are you, let’s give our hero one million thumbs up👍🏾
He,Asari is well documented with facts of history.
Very sound and clever man Respect to him and the Ijaw Nation.
You are a bold man every body have history's ,, Nigeria know the truth adakubo thanks very very very much God bless you ...

He was so technical in his speech, Check out his historical backups, so real..
I love this guy , on point always
Infact this man is real freedom fighter🤏 kudos to you sir.
This man impressed me very much. I did not know that Asari Dokubo is very intelligent like he displayed . I respect him.
This is the type of men I like listening to...we should try to think about the issues in Nigeria as being a slow process! Everything happening now didn't just happened...their beginning can be traced from far away. Nigeria should have tried to solve her issues from the root. A country of Unified diversity...We should learn to process minerals and oils in areas found. Commonwealth is about using a country's resources to help states that don't have natural resources. If oil is found in Rivers state, It should be processed in Rivers state, owned by the Rivers state government, and the proceed, can be used to develop other parts of Nigeria. I am speaking as an Akwaibomite and international relations student. About the language issues, we should stop this three language thing. God knew all these will happen, that is why he put all the major natural resources in minority-considered states!
Ok now you are denying Nigeria citizenship, when you were dinning with the Nigerian government, after fighting against Biafra struggle for freedom.
Be ready to sleep in jail soon.
Cos Buhari will be coming for you
My dear, my town in Imo state is full of hydro carbon and there is an oil well in my town.
Today, November, 2021, the town does not have EVEN A SINGLE MOTORABLE ROAD !!!
In fact, one of the old roads, built by IWUANYANWU, during Mbakwe time, got so bad, that it turned into a big gully, divided a village, into two. No one cares!!!!! From Okorocha, who deputy was from this town to Iwuanyanwu, from a neighboring town who now tarred a road from his house to Owerri. These are people parading as Igbo leaders!!!
Give the resources to the owners and take taxes from them!!!!
Every, single part of Nigeria is blessed with natural and human resources. Let's get to work and find out what we are endowed with!!!
Stop robbing Peter to pay Paul.
You nailed it dear,the same thing in southern Cameroons.
Refreshing to see a "Nigerian" passionate about his people, speaking from his heart with very good knowledge......... very rare!!
It will be better to address people from their root rather than call them Nigerians. Nobody likes that name
Dokubo is correct, those qualify for self determination in Nigeria should be allowed to do so.
Mr. Asari has very important issues that cannot be ignored. Local people must have an increased stake in the resources of their community. I however think that he is very ethnocentric and myopic as regards his identity. What Africa needs is not further division into ethnically based states. Look at the examples he cited;
Eritrea separated from Ethiopia but of what benefit has that done to the ordinary Eritrean? Look at South Sudan? After separating based on color and religion from the North, they have turned to inter-ethnic fighting. You cannot always see other ethnicities as enemies. Africa is not the only continent with multiplicity of ethnicities. We have refused to see beyond it. I can almost guarantee Mr. Asari that if the south or the Ijaw separate from greater Nigeria, he would be excluded from power because of his religion which is being used to forment division between the North and the South of the country. What is the difference in Libya? They all speak Arabic(97% plus) and are Muslims(97%+). They fight among CLANS. Ethnicity is no longer the issue. Bad governance breeds all sorts of rivalries.
What we need as Africans is to tackle corruption. It is our biggest cancer. Tribalism isn't. An honest scan of the Nigerian political landscape would reveal corruption endemic among all the political elite of all the ethnic groups and religions whether southern or northern. You need to strengthen the State, not weaken it. And strengthening it means closing the loopholes that allow for corruption so that roads, schools, hospitals and other vital social infrastructure would be constructed other than governors from all States siphoning resources to British accounts.
China is diverse. India is diverse. America is most diverse but the most successful modern nation on earth. Every Ethnic group in Nigeria did not begin from where they are now. I am Ghanaian and our people's history says we came some the Eastern corridor of Nigeria and Benin. You must see beyond tribal sentiments. When you muddle real important issues like those you are talking about with tribalism, you lose the whole point. Nigeria need people with good moral values which you might have but you will do nothing to help your people by preaching tribalism. The current global and economic system would not allow Nigeria to be separated into ethnic States. Check back in recent history about the Igbo(Biafra) struggle. You have good points but extricate from your heart the burden of tribal hate. We all need to. Salaam.
I am so impressed by your clear and concise analysis, unfortunately we do not have minds like you to speak about issues intelligently like you did. Instead, of the constant drumming of senseless rhetoric.
Umar Mohammed but france left Roman empire and how's the situation of France? Europeans settlers in North America separated and became nations known as USA and Canada how are their situation?. they were a lot of tribalism during Roman empire but they separated became independent and formed European union (independently) The problem with black Africans is lack of knowledge and education. even the graduates can't even think properly.
Umar Mohammed .
You forgot Pakistan or Bangladesh were parts of india. I don't think blacks like you will ever get out of mental slavery.
we & those people you mentioned are not the same, Biafra come and live by example.
Dokunbo is right , me am from ILE-IFE KINGDOM.
I hope this is well documented in history books.
I love this man he's speaking his mind
Biafra is a divine project from heaven there is nothing any body can do about biafra people are the choosen one on this earth nwachukwu
As an Ijaw u must give Di respect 2 Asari Dokubo.
This man has a spirit of a male lion 🦁
Asari i put my Hat down for you...i admire and love you..., all your interview is full of truth!. Truth must be told! i thank God for raising you to voice the truth.. that nobody want to hear.
God bless you Sir
Yes!! He is the truth to save Africa!! He is the voice, preach it to the whole nations under Nigeria
My Brother, You to correct.
Seriously, i am very happy to hear this from a PATRIOTIC IJAW SECESSIONIST. I love this man so much.
You are a vry good guy in term of struggle. Bro stand for what you belief and let people see the true good leadership in you. I like you more my brother.
I like your word today Alhaji Asari Dokubo
I LOVE YOU ASARI DOKUBO!!!
can someone just make a documentary of all this history with Asari he has so much knowledge of all this history.
+James Victor he is an oxymoron.
+Hank A u fine reach am?
I fine reach am 100% guaranteed!
+Hank A then show ur face, asari didn't hide his face.
what about you...do you have a face? Why are you hiding your face?
Asari is a man of good representative
I like the spirit of Asari, I'm an Igbo and a Biafran and do not call myself a Nigerian. The unfortunate thing is that Ojukwu thought about all these a while ago but they didn't listen. Well now that he has declared that half of his lineage is Igbo in a recent interview at Owerri, I think he should join Nnamdi Kanu in the struggle because they are fighting for the same ideal and cause. Ijaw is way too small to survive on it's own and be relevant.
+Vee Oby he is not stupid as Nnamdi Kanu
+talk2me9ja That's none of your business. Stay married to your foolani master
I'm Biafran
I hope you’re staying in Biafra land
Nnamdi KANU is a scam. Asari is not like Nnamdi KANU who push his followers to problems and ran away to foreign land. Do you see Asari running to foreign land.
Wao. This is a true leader and a real freedom fighter. .... He is so so enlightened
He's embodiment of knowledge we need him for help.
Sure
The first time I saw Dokubo talking sense
Am sure they would have cornered him to accept positions even ministerial and governorship positions.., but as true son of the soil he must have said nope all the time... My goodness you can feel his Passion for his people.., it's so strong.. What a Guy....
i love asari his speaking the truth
I like this video on asari Dokubo that speaking on the situation on the Nigeria and the Niger Delta.He is a Truth Freedom Fighter Revolutionary Fighter I stand by him on every thing that he says he speak of the Liberation of the Ijaw land. Speak of truth Federalism of the Nigeria Ethnic Group. Asari is a Truth Warrior.
“Great man May you live long.”
Hi a wife full of problem will never have place , please think about how you talk IGBO are your brother , you can never win any thing as you stand , think how you say
@@greatlovewonsee3596 I agree with you.
Dokubo is very knowledgeable
Seriously, being joined and amalgamated together in this country has been the greatest mistake ever to have happened to the various ethnic/linguistic groups in the history of Nigeria. But thank God we are waking to reality.
Very vibrant, vocal, and fearless
Asari is a joy to watch
What thing i like with this Man is that he knows his history,and from what he says he speaks with alot of truth.
but Ashantis also won a battle against the British. noi
awuahnsiah let them wage war against britains again and see.
Hell door is wide open for you all!
You are right
Asari has spoken well.. More Wisdoms brother... All hail Biafran's
There is much sense in what Asari is saying.
When I watched it I feel very excited
I love this man so much because he speaks the words, Nigerian government are playing games with his peoples life.
This man's analysis is superb our leaders should come together and find lasting solution to Nigeria predicaments through national conference
Askari dokubo is quite right, the problems and civil wars in Africa today is as a result of the scramble for Africa, where Africa was butchered and sliced like a meat, many kingdoms that has nothing in common culturally and politically where forced together, the same thing goes for the Middle East. As awolowo said in the 1940s, 'Nigeria is just a geographical expression'
The government needs to come clean on this issue, Asari is making sense. I survived the civil war that was the baby of British government.
this man is a genius!
This Nigeria government has been taken us for granted for longtime
I love the way this man talk with boldness.💪💪💪💪 Yoruba nation and Biafra should go out of Nigeria
This asari man is articulate, intelligent and patriotic to ijaw nation. He's a beacon of pan africanism. I wish he expand his ideas beyond ijaw nation. I wish him long and a fulfilled life.
Good morning my friend and you are doing great job you MayGod Almighty bless you Ameen. I which the greedy one will listen to you but God Almighty will save us from them .Ameen nayabi
After watching this interview my take is Dokubo Asari has valid points in terms of the resources siphoned by the northerners . Abuja was built from the wealth of the South-South. But there is a blatant neglect of the South-South by the North. Solution: Multifaceted in nature. Build extensively and expansively the South- South the way Abuja was constructed with a master plan comprehensive in nature. All the social infrastructural backbones must be built including but not limited to Good Road Networks, Great Schools, Excellent Hospitals, Awesome Railway/ Waterway systems, Beautiful Shopping Malls, Dynamic Recreational Facilities, Great Urban and Rural Amenities, Manufacturing hubs, Industrial complex’s and others. For far too long the Cabal of born to rule Northerns have undermined the development of Nigeria.
Mr. Babs! Bayelsa is the smallest state in Nigeria but have the highest pay from resources derivation. What have those states done with their resources control wealth?
Asari from dis ur talk u r a MAN.
True Izon man
U are a freedom fighter Dokubo d boss
I too like guy. Always factual!
Asari dokubo is not a toy you should play with. We the ijews respect Him and His voice. Listen to Him and keep those ungodly questions at side.
Well, I Mr Joseph Ndubuisi Agulanna is of the view that Dokubo is entitle to his opinion since the constitution of Nigeria gives everyone freedom of speech.
I enjoyed this
Though I do not wholeheartedly support Asari Dokubo's ideology, but I understand his struggles. I only wish he could be a little more diplomatic about it. It's a crazy world out there, and I think public comments shouldn't be inciteful.
However, I'm appalled at the interviewers bias and unprofessional demeanor. I think he needs a lesson in history and Asari's offer to teach him fell on deaf ears. He has a lot to learn. He is biased and unprofessional. I wouldn't go as far as calling him stupid, he's close. Just because you sit in an interviewer seat doesn't make you smart. Asari is clearly smarter, and he should learn from him
That's what I noticed as well. A lot of people have been born into the British conception of Nigeria, and have never picked up a history book to see what that really means. They think their Nigerian Identity is something to be proud of and sacrosanct, whereas in all but name, Nigeria is still a colony of Britain.
If all your oil and gas wealth is controlled by outsiders because they are the ones who have the technology to mine, process and transport it back to their countries, while controlling the international markets where oil is traded (futures contracts and spot prices), and furthermore sell petroleum products back to you, at greatly inflated prices because they see that you are so corrupt and stupid to learn how to process it yourself; and upon all that you being stupid enough to embezzle all the money from oil sales and transfer it back to their banks so that they are getting the oil virtually free, then what are you but a colony, that does not know that you are a colony, but thinks it is a country.
Personally, I do not like Asari's presentation as it seems aggressive, although the lack of knowledge of the interviewer is infuriating. I think he could be far more diplomatic. He is far smarter than the interviewer, though. The interviewer really needs to learn some history.
Our education system is horrendous..
Asari is wise my first to hear him talk
He reads exhaustively
So great.. ✊
You are a great man indeed
This man is too much! Choi! I never thought this much of alh. Asari
“May you live long.”
i love you asari
This man Asari is well informed. Is a real intelligent activist that knows what he is fighting for.. May God grant him his wishes..
Asari Dokubo has said it all, sovereign national conference is what Nigeria needs now to solve its numerous national problems plaguing It.
i like his take wealth of knowledge
Very good one
good talk!
Impressive interview! Esho Imoudu was not condescending by any measure by taking an easy line of questioning, and Asari Dokubo did himself proud by eloquently expressing himself. I'm of the opinion that together we stand so I do not share his view of the Ijaw people ceding from Nigeria, but what incentive has the nation given to the Ijaw people for them to want to remain part of the union. The Question of AD being the chosen spokesperson for the Ijaws is another matter but credit to him.
I so love this man
This man is highly knowledgeable
Wow asari I nerve knew dat u are intelligent like dat I love ur world let team up with Biafra and exit from Nigeria 2023
Mehhnn.. this man is highly intellectual. I like his intelligent..
Na waoh for this man! Really one finds it difficult to understand your point!
Can anyone from Delta state speak like? Never I don't think all you know about for yourself this is what we call a man of dignity a man of his word....
You are a great man sir, infact you're a man dignity 🙌
No doubt, this guy is being factual. I'm Yoruba by birth and know he's not an empty-headed struggler. The root of the whole aggression is injustice.....that is not to say he never did something for his own pocket as well. Anyway, we can still live together in harmony if justice returns to our country
This is so great and fantastic from Asari Dokubo, Nigeria is a failed state, and we won't forgive British if we all die in slavery, they should call their expired colony zoo country call Nigeria to order for a national conference bcuz the pain is so much that one day every one would ready to die and that would be so bloody deadly
I confirm my a acceptance to do. Justice as a good citizen..
provocative questions.
